Victoria vs New South Wales Betting Tips
New South Wales to score high before 1st dismissal
The opening line-up of New South Wales revolved around Daniel Hughes, Blake Macdonald and Blake Nikitaras who averaged at 41.30, 41.00 & 18.46 last season. Despite a few hiccups, there were good opening partnerships for the team in the competition. They met with Victoria twice last season where they secured 40 & 0 runs in the 1st innings of both the games. However, Ryan Hackney seems like a good addition to the opening line-up and averages 24.00 while Hughes averages 43.33 in the competition. The pair scored 89 & 35 runs before their first dismissal in the two games. Hughes looks in good form and bundled a lot of runs in the two games. Considering the facts, NSW have a good chance at scoring high before their first dismissal in the next game against SOA.

Victoria vs New South Wales Betting Odds
The Victorian outfit played their last game of the Sheffield Trophy against Queensland. VIC scored 253 & 144 runs in the two innings and settled for a mediocre batting performance. However, they lacked majorly in the bowling order too and conceded 501 runs, unfathomable for Victoria. This led to QUN’s victory in the game by an innings and 104 runs.
New South Wales also faced a loss in their last outing. They faced South Australia and lost the game by 186 runs as their batters crumbled in the game and lost their wickets cheaply. However, things are expected to get better as Nathan Lyon will be joining the squad and replacing Kurtis Patterson. New South Wales has not managed to win a single game from their 14 Sheffield Shield games since February 2022 but will look to change things in their next game.
